  • I just don’t understand why we can’t start the exact same revolution these people want during the primaries. It would make much more sense to win over/capture the party and then push that platform in the general. You get real power to get actual shit done without risking fascism by letting the GOP win due to the spoiler effect.

    If someone can make the “revolution is necessary” argument, that should be a perfectly acceptable plan. I think they just want complete collapse so they can try and rebuild, which is complete psychopathic nonsense.













  • But pushing the false equivalence that somehow not voting for Trump is the same as directly voting for him is foolish and not a good tactic to swing them into voting with the party.

    I did not say that, nor would I agree with that statement. 3rd party/non voters ARE supporting Trump. They are not providing as much support as someone who actively votes for him, but because of the way FPTP voting works, their actions absolutely benefit the GOP more than the Democratic Party.

    These are anti authoritarian people. As in literally don’t like being told what to do. And you can’t fix a negative with a negative. People need to feel inspired themselves to do the right things. Otherwise people are shockingly self destructive and will cut off their nose to spite the fact.

    I haven’t told anyone what to do. I’ve explained the results of not voting/3rd party voting, that’s all. If they don’t like those results it sure sounds like they shouldn’t do the dumb shit they’re proposing.

    You are free to bully people that will say they voting a way you don’t like too but don’t think it will be productive is my point.

    “By doing X, you are causing Y” is not bullying. That’s absurd.
